They operate in Layer 2 mode and hence act as trusted Layer 2 relay agents. The replies from the server are broadcasted by the L3 relay agents to these L2 relay agents which must be avoided. This document defines a new sub-option for the relay-agent-information option. With this sub-option, the L3 relay agent will always unicast the messages towards the trusted layer 2 DHCP relay agent with a hardware address that is known in the network. The new sub-option is called the "unicast-address" sub-option.}, }
